All over Fremont County, worn bathtubs are resurfaced in place: repairs first, gloss second, fresh caulk on the way out.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
You look at your stained, outdated tub every single day and wonder if you can ever afford a complete remodel. Fortunately, a highly skilled technician can restore that worn-out surface to its original shine right in your home. This smart process saves you thousands of dollars compared to tearing out your old cast iron or fiberglass fixture.
Indeed, skipping the messy demolition means you avoid weeks of dust, loud noise, and expensive plumbing bills. Our local team specializes in applying a durable, glossy new finish that bonds directly to your existing setup. By choosing this modern restorative method, you get a beautiful, clean bathing space in less than a single day.
Actually, many homeowners do not realize how easily they can revive their old bathroom fixtures without replacing them. We bring professional equipment directly to your doorstep to handle the tedious prep work and the spraying process. If you want to see how affordable this transformation is, we gladly provide a completely free estimate for your project.
When you start pricing out a full bathroom remodel, the cost of a new tub is actually the smallest part of the budget. On top of that, you have to pay for demolition crews, drywall repair, and expensive tile work. Which means a simple update can quickly turn into a financial nightmare that leaves your home in shambles for weeks.
By opting for a professional surface restoration instead, you bypass all of those stressful construction headaches. This clever method utilizes high-tech bonding agents to fuse a new protective layer over your chipped or faded porcelain. Consequently, you get the exact same look as a brand-new installation for a tiny fraction of the price.
To help you compare the two options, we put together a quick breakdown of how these choices match up in real life.
| Factor | Complete Replacement | Professional Surface Restoration |
|---|---|---|
| Average Time | One to two weeks of loud construction | Finished in about four to six hours |
| Mess Level | Heavy drywall dust, debris, and trash | Virtually zero mess left behind |
| Overall Cost | Very high due to plumbing and tile work | Extremely budget-friendly and simple |
| Durability | Depends entirely on the new material | Lasts for many years with basic care |
Now, you can clearly see why smart homeowners choose to refresh their existing fixtures rather than throwing them in a landfill. This protective coating resists scratches, prevents mold growth, and makes your weekly cleaning routine incredibly easy. Best of all, you can start using your refreshed shower again in just a couple of days.
To get a finish that lasts, we never cut corners during the extensive preparation phase. First, we meticulously clean the old surface with specialized acid cleaners to strip away decades of soap scum and hard water deposits. This critical step ensures that the new glossy coating adheres perfectly without peeling or bubbling later on.
After that, we repair any deep chips, cracks, or rust spots using a waterproof polyester filler. Once the repairs dry, we sand them completely flat so the damage vanishes beneath the new layers. This meticulous attention to detail is what separates a professional job from those cheap DIY kits you buy at the hardware store.
Next, we apply a proprietary bonding agent that chemically fuses the new topcoat to the original porcelain or acrylic. We then spray several thin, even layers of premium acrylic urethane using high-volume, low-pressure equipment. This advanced technique creates a deep, liquid-like shine that looks identical to a brand-new factory finish.
Specifically, we source industrial-grade coatings that are far superior to standard consumer paints. These specialized resins are designed to withstand constant water exposure, hot temperatures, and daily cleaning. This means your newly coated basin will not yellow, crack, or lose its luster after a few months of use.
Additionally, we set up professional ventilation systems to safely draw any paint fumes out of your home while we work. This keeps your indoor air clean and ensures your family remains safe and relaxed throughout the entire process. Once we pack up our gear, the slight odor dissipates quickly, leaving behind only a sparkling clean bathroom.
If you own an older home in Fremont County, Colorado, you probably have a gorgeous, heavy cast iron tub. Those vintage fixtures retain heat incredibly well, but their surfaces eventually become dull, porous, and nearly impossible to keep clean. Our restoration process allows you to keep that historic charm while enjoying a pristine, easy-to-clean finish.
This service is also a massive win for local landlords who need to prep rental units for new tenants quickly. Since we finish the job in a single day, you can get your property back on the market without losing weeks of rent. Plus, the fresh look instantly boosts the perceived value of your rental, letting you attract quality tenants.
Moreover, we serve several communities in the area, including residents living in ZIP codes like 81212, 81226, and 81240. Whether you are dealing with a historic home near the Royal Gorge or a modern ranch house, we bring our expertise right to you. Our deep understanding of local water conditions helps us choose the perfect materials to combat tough mineral buildup.
Naturally, some people worry that a sprayed-on finish will look cheap or feel like ordinary spray paint. However, the finished product looks incredibly smooth and feels exactly like high-gloss glass under your fingertips. Unless you tell your guests that you had the surface coated, they will assume you bought a brand-new tub.
Another common myth is that these restored surfaces require special, highly expensive cleaning products to maintain. In reality, you only need to avoid abrasive scouring powders and harsh scrub brushes that can dull the shine over time. Simple dish soap or mild, non-abrasive sprays will keep your fixture looking brand new with minimal effort.
Sometimes, people also think that DIY kits from the local hardware store can deliver the same high-quality results. Unfortunately, those roll-on epoxy kits lack proper bonding agents and usually start peeling within a few months. Investing in a professional application saves you the immense headache of stripping off a failed DIY job later on.
To ensure your new finish lasts for a decade or more, we recommend keeping your bath mat out of the tub when not in use. Constant moisture trapped under suction cups can eventually weaken the bond of the coating over time. Instead, we can apply a built-in slip-resistant texture directly to the bottom of the basin during our process.
On top of that, make sure you fix any dripping faucets promptly to prevent mineral stains from forming on the new surface. While the coating is highly durable, constant water dripping in the exact same spot can eventually wear down any finish. Taking these simple precautions ensures you enjoy your beautiful, shiny bathroom for many years to come.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
